Tuna tomato crispy pasta

Today has been a long day, hiking all the way to the top of Sljeme in Zagreb and back, resulting in 22 km walk by foot. It’s not my first time hiking and I really like to go as often as I can with friends. We laugh, we sing, we eat amazing food in one of the B&B along the way, the best thing about it is that they make delicious traditional food our grandmas used to make. This is the first hike this year, and spring is here, I actually got a little sunburned since I didn’t expect it to be so hot, but I don’t mind. I had the best of time, and all that hiking made me hungry and there is nothing better than getting home, preparing some food and finally sitting down to feel tingling in the feet.

This is great dish if you’re in a hurry and you want to make something delicious. I love crispy pasta, it’s not as healthy but I burned a lot of calories today. Crispy pasta topped with tuna and tomato sauce is one of combinations I really like and they go so well together. I urge you to try out the recipe, because I know you’ll really like it, at least I hope. Have a nice day and stay tuned for more recipes!
